What's included in a full critique?
Strategic Summary
An executive overview of your manuscript's strengths and vulnerabilities, paired with a "reviewer perception" callout that predicts how reviewers will respond to your paper.
"The manuscript presents a well-motivated study but faces risks from incomplete reporting…"
What reviewers will perceive
"Promising research question, but reviewers will flag the methods gaps."
Readiness Snapshot
An at-a-glance readiness score estimating how well your manuscript holds up against common peer review standards, highlighting your paper's strongest areas and the gaps most likely to draw criticism.
Reviewer Focus: Major revision likely
Rejection Risk Grades
Letter grades across four key areas — study rationale, methods, discussion, and writing quality — showing where reviewers are most likely to raise concerns.
Primary Review Risks
Structural and argumentative weaknesses that frequently lead to desk rejections — unclear hypotheses, unsupported claims, and logical gaps between methods and conclusions.
Consistency Flags
Spot contradictions between your abstract and results, mismatched figures, or terminology inconsistencies that undermine credibility — silent issues reviewers notice but authors often miss.
Section-by-Section Feedback
Every major section — introduction, methods, results, and discussion — receives targeted, actionable feedback so you know exactly what to revise before submission.
Submission Fix Checklist
An actionable to-do list synthesized from all critique feedback — track your progress as you address each issue before submission.
